Oooh
Oooooh
Yeah
How do I tell you I've found somebody else
When you love me even more than you love yourself?
How do I break it to you without breaking your heart?
I know it's gonna tear you apart and
I can't do that so I keep sneaking and cover all clues
Keepin it secret to keep it from you
But it's like a knife cutting right through to my heart
Knowing when I'm there in her arms
How much it would hurt you and that's what's killin me
And I hate the lies but I don't know what else I can do
The lies are much more kind than the truth
And I don't wanna hurt you
How do I tell you I don't feel the same no more?
What I feel for someone else is what I've never felt before
How do I break it to you without makin you cry?
I couldn't put one tear in your eyes.
No, I can't do that
So I keep sneakin won't let nothin show
Keepin it secret so you'll never know
But it's like a knife cutting right through to my heart
Knowing when I'm there in her arms
How much it would hurt you and that's what's killin me
And I hate the lies but I don't know what else I can do
The lies are much more kind than the truth
And I don't wanna hurt you
I can't bare to break the heart that loves me
That is somethin I can't do so I'll just keep keepin it from you, oh
Oooh
But it's like a knife cutting right through to my heart
Knowing when I'm there in her arms
How much it would hurt you and that's what's killin me
And I hate the lies but I don't know what else I can do
The lies are much more kind than the truth
And I don't wanna hurt you
How do I tell you I've found somebody else?
